Reborn Financial Overlord

The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the floor was far and near, and Tang Dunhou's voice came along with the clear footsteps.

"Boss. Are you no longer taking breaks?"

"Monkey. I found that you talk more and more."

"Hey. Aren't I worried that when I go back this time, the lady boss will find that you have lost weight?"

"Stop talking nonsense. How about Brother Zheng?"

"The captain said that the Chiluba government army has no money, and they want to use the 30.00% equity of the Konkola Copper Mine Company to pay. But he is worried that these guys will turn their backs, and he is still considering. The night team has arrived in Zimbabwe, if it goes well , we will be able to send people there next month."

Shen Jiannan pondered for a while, picked up the cigar on the table, took out one and lit it.

Africa is known as the chosen place because it is the continent with the richest resources and the richest land in the world.

As the core of Africa, Zambia has the largest copper deposit in the world, with copper resources accounting for more than 60.00% of the world.Zimbabwe is even more powerful. As the breadbasket of Africa, the land here is so fertile and the economy is so developed that it is only one step away from being able to surpass the ranks of developed countries.

1 US dollar = 100000000000 Zimbabwean dollars?

When Zimbabwe is mentioned, people may immediately think of the shame of human currency.

Banknotes are weighed in tons, and no one will steal them if they are discarded outside.

But in fact, 90 years ago, Zimbabwe was a quasi-developed country in Africa second only to South Africa, with a per capita income of several thousand dollars. Just for food exports, it was able to earn huge profits from neighboring countries.

The currency value of the Zimbabwean dollar is even more expensive than the US dollar. 1 Zimbabwean dollar is almost equivalent to 1.2 U.S. dollars.

As for why the Zimbabwean dollar depreciated into waste paper later.

Uh......

The reason is actually absurd. The locals felt that the colonists had robbed them of their wealth, so they took up guns and slaughtered the whites, robbed the wealth of the farmers, declared independence, and implemented self-management by blacks.

And then... no then.

Anyway, the Zimbabwean dollar is so valuable that you can buy a lot of things, so just print more money to buy things, what a stupid job.

Yes, it's that absurd.

Now Zimbabwe has just been independent for ten years, but it has taken away the wealth accumulated by the white people for decades, and is still in the last prosperity.If these guys were not packaged and sold, then Shen Jiannan wouldn't be Shen Jiannan.

However, thinking of Zambia gave Shen Jiannan a headache.

Copper, the largest non-ferrous metal.

In ancient times, it was even defined as gold.

In modern industry, in terms of industrial practical value, it is still more practical than gold.

The development of any modern technology is inseparable from the metal copper.

As early as 20 years ago, the country spent countless manpower and material resources, and even sacrificed 69 experts, technicians and workers to help Zambia build a nearly [-]-kilometer-long traffic trunk line that runs through East Africa, Central and South Africa, and reaches Tanzania's seaport.

But it is a pity that the investment may not be rewarded. In less than 20 years, Zambia is now the largest Chinese-exclusive country in Africa.

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Shen Jiannan picked up the phone on the table and dialed it.

"Kuyou Jiwa. This is Akiyama's house. May I ask who are you looking for?"

Anhui Michiko's voice came from the receiver. Although she couldn't see her appearance, Shen Jiannan's complicated heart couldn't help but calm down.

"Michiko, it's me."

As soon as she heard Shen Jiannan's voice, Michiko Yasuhiro almost dropped the phone from her excitement.It has been almost half a month since returning to Japan, and this is the first time Shen Jiannan called her.

"Simi Masai. Qiushan Jun, I didn't know it was you."

"Oh. Michiko, isn't it time for class today? Why are you at home?"

"I was a little unwell, so I asked for a day off."

"what happened?"

"No... nothing, just a little discomfort."

Suddenly, Shen Jiannan became suspicious.

Yasuhui Michiko doesn't know how to lie, she falters and haws, and she knows she's not telling the truth as soon as she hears it.

"Michiko. Is it really okay? If you are sick, you have to go for a serious examination. I will return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. If Japan is not convenient, I will take you to Hong Kong to have a look."

"It's almost fine. It's really just a little uncomfortable."

"Really?"

"Actually... it's just that my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. Mr. Qiushan, don't ask me all the time, it will make people feel embarrassed."

"..."

For this reason, Shen Jiannan was helpless.

A woman's mind is like a needle on the bottom of the sea. She has everything, but she is shy about even a little thing.

After chatting for a while, Shen Jiannan got down to business, and Michiko Yasuhui gave the phone to Koji Yasuhui who had been waiting for a long time.

"Father, Mr. Qiu Shan has something to tell you."

"Akiyama-kun. Good afternoon."

"An Huisang, it's morning here."

"Ah. Haha, I'm so sorry, I forgot the time difference."

"It's ok."

"..."

"Miss Lu thinks that Lucheng in southern Fujian Province is more suitable for us in terms of geographical location. I also visited last week. Although Lucheng does not have the advantage of Dongguan to Hong Kong, it is more convenient to travel to and from Osaka and Tokyo than Dongguan. It is very suitable for us." 1. The export of goods. However, Ludao is a bit inconvenient for Daiichi Industry Co., Ltd.’s project location.”

"The site selection for the Dalian project, I have already determined a few locations, but the specific location, since you are going back to Huaxia, I will go with you to investigate again when the time comes."

"..."

Listening to An Huihao'er's report on his work in the Italian market and China projects, Shen Jiannan nodded in satisfaction.

An Huihaoer is very measured, he never pretends to be an old father-in-law, and every time he talks about business affairs, he is very serious and cautious, with a completely business-like attitude.In fact, although Capital One has an absolute controlling stake in First Industry Co., Ltd., according to the previous agreement, there is no need for An Huihaoji to report these matters to Shen Jiannan. He has the right to operate and manage them himself.

In this regard, I have to say that the Japanese conduct themselves in the world is indeed more reassuring and comfortable than nepotism in China.

Of course, there is nothing to say about Yasuhiro Koji's ability at work. After all, he is a high-achieving student who graduated from the University of Tokyo, and has many years of experience in business management and some connections. He didn't appear to be in a difficult situation either.

One speaks, one listens.

After a long time, Shen Jiannan laughed twice and said: "An Huisang. You can decide these things yourself, there is no need to tell me. I am calling this time mainly to ask, have you heard of Binzhong Tainan? people."

"Hamanaka Yasuo? Oh, you mean Sumitomo Nonferrous Metals Trading Department Chief Trader?"

"An Huisang knows Binzhong Tainan?"

"I met Kawasaki at a reception once, and I'm not very familiar with it, but a trader in our risk control department, Okamoto Junkishi, used to be under Yasuo Hamaka, and the relationship is not bad. What's the matter?"

"There is nothing special. If it is convenient, you can ask this Mr. Okamoto to call me. I want him to help me make an appointment with Hamanaka Tainan."

Seeing Shen Jiannan's reluctance, An Huihaoji wisely didn't ask any more questions, and when he hung up the phone, he immediately called Junan Okamoto.

London.

Shen Jiannan wrapped himself in a bath towel and returned to the bedroom. Sophie Karonmei fell asleep, but she kicked the quilt away. Shen Jiannan couldn't help laughing because of his poor sleeping position.

Carefully stepping on the soft cashmere carpet with bare feet, after making sure that no one who fell asleep was awakened, Shen Jiannan gently pulled up the quilt, carefully covered Karonmei, and then turned off the light and walked to the fitting room.

It's not about love.

For a person like Shen Jiannan, he never believed in such a thing as love.

He just felt that as a man, he slept with someone and was very happy, so that's all he should do.

But for Sophie Calomey, who was supposed to be asleep, it was a different feeling. In this intriguing world, she experienced the care from a man other than her father for the first time. His tenderness made her eyes shimmer in the night.

How many people admired her young and beautiful face, and how many people stared at the wealth accumulated by the Kalongmei family.

But there has never been a man who is not obsessed with her exquisite face, proud figure, and rich net worth.

Thinking of this, Kalongmei showed a weird smile in the night. Since she met Katina when she was a child, she has been fighting with each other. Unexpectedly, even men will continue to fight.

Fate really likes to play tricks on people!

Shen Jiannan, who was changing his clothes, didn't know that Kalongmei was pretending to be sleeping. He took a suit of clothes that Armani had bought not long ago and put them on. Looking at himself in the mirror, he slowly tied his tie.

World War I and World War II left the world full of holes, and the main roads changed and turned constantly.

The strength of Germany has always been ranked at the top of the world, and the level of technology and industry is enough to rank in the top three even in the world.Even though the defeated country paid a huge amount of war compensation in World War I, it had the power to sweep across Europe in just a few decades.

why?

From an industrial point of view, it is because Germany has the most advanced military research and development and production capabilities.But in terms of military materials, its core source is directed at the first non-ferrous metal - copper.

In World War II, Germany had two little brothers, one who dared not fight anyone, and one who dared to fight anyone.

Those who dare not fight are naturally talking about Italy, while those who dare to fight are talking about Japan.

War against the Soviet Union, India, Burma, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaya, China, and even the United States.

Its madness and arrogance, from an objective point of view, is simply awesome.

But in wars, what we fight is ammunition and weapons. The reason why Japan has the confidence to start wars with many Asian countries at the same time is because its industry has always stood at the top.

If one must trace its development trajectory, it can even be traced back to the Tokugawa Shogunate era.

In the 16th century, the Sumitomo family grew stronger due to the creation and operation of a copper mine on Shikoku Island, and became Japan’s officially designated copper supplier. The Tokugawa shogunate ruled Japan for more than 1603 years.

At that time, the head of the Sumitomo family proudly declared that Sumitomo Trading Company was the world's largest copper exporter.

Bullets require copper.

Running bullets requires copper.

Core motor, requires copper.

As we all know, the development of military industry is inseparable from copper. This resource, like cotton, is a strategic main material in the development of modern industry.

From a strategic point of view, copper is simply an irreplaceable strategic material.

Chapter 166 Mr. Hammer

During the 30s and World War II, some politically influential monopoly groups became the main followers of Japanese monarchism, and the Sumitomo Foundation was no exception.

During this period, the family concentration of the Sumitomo consortium became more obvious, and most of the consortium's industries were concentrated in the hands of the Sumitomo family.

Among them, Sumitomo Group has mastered copper resources for centuries.

After Japan's defeat, various chaebols disintegrated and reorganized into conglomerates under the restrictions of the United States, and the Sumitomo family's political and economic influence in Japan was greatly weakened.However, with the recovery of the Japanese economy after the war, the Sumitomo Foundation made a comeback and grew stronger day by day.

Since then, Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd. has more extensively participated in international trade activities in the fields of metals, machinery, petroleum, chemicals, food and textiles, and has become the core enterprise of the Sumitomo Foundation and one of the four major traders in Japan.

How strong is such a Sumitomo?

In 1991 alone, Sumitomo's total global sales reached more than 1000 billion US dollars, which was more than the total GDP of the entire country of China.

And Binzhong Tainan is the chief trader of the non-ferrous metal trading department of Sumitomo Trading Co., Ltd.

This guy has two very intriguing nicknames, one is "Mr. 5.00%" and the other is "Hammer".The former is a respectful name for his ability by people in the circle, while the latter is a portrayal of his character.

People in the circle call him "Mr. 5.00%" because the Nonferrous Metals Trading Department of Sumitomo Corporation led by Hamanaka Yasuo controls as much as 5.00% of the global copper trading volume.It can be seen that Hamanaka Tainan's outstanding record in international copper futures trading also reflects the significant impact that Sumitomo's trading decisions on this can have on the international steel market.

"Hammer" is derived from Yasuo hamanaka, the English translation of Yasuo Hamanaka, because the pronunciation of Yasuo Hamanaka in English is very similar to "hammer".But the reason why this nickname can be called is mainly because it reflects the hammer-like hard character of Hamanaka Tainan in the transaction.

It can be said that it is this resolute character that contributed to his unshakable position in the non-ferrous metal market.

London Financial District, Sumitomo Corporation Nonferrous Metals Market Trading Department.

As the phone rang, Binzhong Yasuan put down the teacup in his hand and picked up the phone on the table.

"Tainan-sama is always nice. I'm Jun'an Okamoto. I haven't contacted you for a while. I'm really sorry."

"Oh. Okamoto-kun. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been good recently. It's really surprising how you suddenly thought of calling me."

"Thank you, Mr. Tainan, for your concern! That's it. I'm working at First Industry Co., Ltd. Someone asked me to ask. I wonder if you have time recently. He wants to do a big business with you."

Big business?
